Rivers Cancer Center

When you're diagnosed with cancer, life changes. There's a lot to think about, to decide, to do. It's tough to go it alone.

You need the care and support of other people.

The experts at Rivers Cancer Center at River Falls Area Hospital know how to help. By combining compassionate, highly skilled care with the latest technology and treatment, you can be assured you'll be well cared for.

Rivers Cancer Center is a partnership between River Falls Area Hospital, River Falls Medical Clinic and Minnesota Oncology to provide local, comprehensive, multidisciplinary cancer care services to cancer patients in western Wisconsin.

Rivers Cancer Center is formally known as a community hospital cancer program as defined by and accredited by the Commission on Cancer.

Through our affiliation with the Virginia Piper Cancer Institute, we mobilize the expertise of medical, surgical and radiation oncologists while maintaining a central role for the patients and their family physician in the battle against cancer.
